A representative of the Strategic Head of Service (Legal & Democratic Governance and Monitoring Officer) submitted a report of the Director of Place Management (copies of which had been circulated) which sought approval for the introduction of lowered kerbs toe entrance to Commercial Road apartments on the eastern side of Catherine Street to aid accessibility.

Members queried why the proposal hadn’t been funded by way of Section 106 contributions as part of the planning application for the apartment buildings, however recognised the benefits of the proposal for residents with accessibility issues accessing the nearby shops.

RESOLVED – That approval be given for the introduction of lowered kerbs at the entrance of Commercial Road apartments on the eastern side of Catherine Street to aid accessibility, at a cost of £1,103.15 to be funded from the Area Committee’s Delegated Budget (Hazel Grove ward allocation).
